"decide if you're Tigger or Eeyore"

experience is what you get when you didn't get what you wanted.

brick walls are there to let us show our dedication.

tell the truth.

be earnest.           

apologize when you screw up.

focus on others, not yourself.

get a feedback loop. and listen to it.

don't complain, just work harder.

be prepared: "luck" is where preparation meets opportunity.

decide if you're Tigger or Eeyore.

- Randy Pausch, The Last Lecture
